Question Glow plug light issue!

Good evening all.
What would be the cause of the glow plug light NOT comming on when I first turn the ignition key?
It does come on if I close the ignition and reopen it...
Would it have anything to do with the fact that I recently had those problems with my starter?
Thank you

what model is this issue on.. inspect the glow plug fuse.. on the left wheel hump in the engine compartment.. or in the cabin above the brake pedal in a lil box like it would be in the engine compartment.. or the light could have burned out...

run a test that the glow plugs are actually getting power when you turn the key to glow.. get a voltmeter .. put the leads on the plug and such it should pull 6 volts i belive at glowing.. or 12.. its one of the two.. heck any signs of voltage is good.. if it doesnt.. then the glow plug relay fuse is broken and needs replaceing

thats as much info ive got
